1Lousy company
Don’t use them , guide never showed up , no communication
1TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
This was such a deeply disappointing experience with TripAdvisor/Viator. Our instructions were for us to show up at 2PM at the address. We showed up, and no one was there. We waited around for 35 minutes, tried all manner of contacting the tour guide, the company, and then finally Trip Advisor, and got nothing. We have been on food tours in Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Cairo, Istanbul, and Paris. To be in Norway, with my Norwegian family, and have this happen was terrible.
1Guide was a no show
The tour guide didn't show go. I waited 30 minutes. Ended up taking taxi to Mathollen and found it was closed on Mondays, so not sure how the tour would be completed when one of the stops was closed.
3The Food Was Good, The Guide Was Not.
We have been on many food tours all over the world and this one was not up to par. It was not because of the food, the food was great. Our issue was with our guide. We are used to having our guide be very social, intersting and interactive. We look forward to getting a history lesson of the city that we our in. We did not get this with our guide. While she was a nice person, we got very little of the history and culture of Oslo. The lovely family that was on the tour with us agreed with us. We hope that this guide will become more comfortable in her job and give future tourist a great experience.
5Fabulous tour, fabulous tour guide. Would do it again
Our tour guide, Haizea was fabulous. Very knowledgeable, very personable. Just fun to hang with. Fun, adventurous foods
3Would like to have had...
Would like to have had more historical information along the way on the tour. A voice box would’ve been very helpful.. would like to know more about how it ties into Oslo specifically.

About Oslo
Oslo is Norway's capital at the head of the Oslofjord, a green city of sculpture, Viking ships, polar-ship museums, an opera house and forests for skiing.
Oslo sits at the head of the Oslofjord, surrounded by forested hills and dotted with islands, and it is one of Europe's greenest capitals. The waterfront has the Opera House, a white marble building with a sloping roof that visitors can walk on, and Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle above the harbour. City Hall, a brick building with large murals, is where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented each December.
Top-ranked sights in Oslo: Akershus Castle (Akershus Slott), Oslo Royal Palace (Kongelige Slott), Oslo City Hall (Radhuset).
